Verse 1
D

I was hangin' 'round town,
A

just spendin' my time
D

Out of a job, not earnin' a dime
G

A feller steps up and he said, "I suppose
A

You're a bronc fighter

from looks of your clothes."
D

"You figures me right,
A

I'm a good one." I claim

"Do you happen to have any
D

bad ones to tame?"
G

Said "He's got one, a bad one to buck
A

For throwin' good riders,
D

he's had lots of luck."
D

Verse 2
D
A

I gets all het up and I ask what he pays
D

To ride this old nag for a couple of days
G

He offered me ten; I said, "I'm your man
A

A bronc never lived that I couldn't span."
D

He said: "Get your saddle,
A

I'll give you a chance"

In his buckboard we hopped
D

and he drives to the ranch
G

I stayed 'til mornin' and right after chuck
A
D

I stepped out to see if this outlaw can buck
D

Verse 3
D
A

Down in the horse corral standin' alone
D

Is an old Caballo, a Strawberry Roan

His legs are all spavined,
G

he's got pigeon toes
A

Little pig eyes and a big Roman nose
D
A

Little pin ears that touched at the tip
D

A big 44 brand was on his left hip
G

U-necked and old, with a long, lower jaw
A

I could see with one eye,
D

he's a regular outlaw
D

Verse 4
D
A

I gets the blinds on 'im and it sure is a fright

Next comes the saddle
D

and I screws it down tight
G

Then I steps on 'im and I raises the blinds
A

Get outta the way boys, he's gonna unwind
D

He sure is a frog-walker,
A

he heaves a big sigh
D

He only lacks wings, for to be on the fly
G

He turns his old belly right up to the sun
A
D

He sure is a sun-fishin', son-of-a-gun
D

Verse 5
D

He's about the worst bucker
A

I've seen on the range

He'll turn on a Nickel
D

and give you some change
G

He hits on all fours and goes up on high
A

Leaves me a spinnin' up there in the sky
D
A

I turns over twice and I comes back to earth
D

I lights in a cussin' the day of his birth
G

I know there are ponies that I cannot ride
A

There's some of them left,

they haven't all died
D
A

I'll bet all my money, the man ain't alive

That'll stay with Old Strawberry
D
When he makes his high dive

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
